he's not that bad if you're good at math.
the most he does is play with his hair, I wouldnt reccommend him, he doesnt even have his PhD!
he is the worst teacher i've had yet. if you're looking to pass i suggest you don't take him, otherwise you'll be like the half of the class failing. he sits in his chair the whole class, and teaches from an overhead. also, he cannot hear to well.DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
The most unhelpful teach i ever had. He doesnt even teach. He makes you do everything on the net. There are lots of problems with the program that he uses. Half of my class failed. I escaped
does not really teach he mostly uses the computer
This guy was the worst teacher I ever had. He is deaf, so communicating with him his a hassle. He is very unreasonable and doesn't even attempt to answer simple questions. Although, I made an A in his class I wouldn't recommend taking him, because it was a frustrating experience and I basically taught myself.
No Comments
He sucks an dhe is a horrible teacher who does not enjoy teaching............ get Mr. Roscoe ...ummm McNealy he is so much fun and a great teacher
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER, I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE TEACHER FOR MATH ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A DIFFICULTY GRASPING THE CONCEPT OF MATHEMATICS. HE TEACHES, LIVES AND BREATHS EDUCO, WHICH IS HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE CANT EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THE WORK. IF IT WASNT FOR THE COMPUTER, HE COULDNT EXPLAIN ANYTHING!
probaly the worst math professor i've ever had. He loves Educo, and all he will do is press next, next, next and let educo explain which is horrible for people with problems with math. Doesnt explain anything.
DO NOT TAKE ANDREWS!!!!!!!!!!! He couldn't teach if his life depended on it. He walks in and draws on the board for 50 minutes. Educo is the most boot-legged computer program known to man. If you have him, you need to go running to the registrar to withdraw.
Dr. Andrews is not a good professor, he is not there to help the students. He will expect the class to teach themselves. How you teach someone something you cant do. I recommend that you take Mr. McNealy I ended having to take him in order to maintain my G.P.A.
He cannot teach at all and thinks Educo is gods gift to the mathematic world. He has no study sessions and his test or should I say Educo's test are difficult. McNeely is your best bet for Pre-Calc and Calculus.
SAT IN THE FRONT ROW AND STILL DIDNT GET IT HIS INSTRUCTIONS WERE AMBIGUOUS TO SAY THE LEAST.
Andrews is indeed a character. He teaches verbatim from the book which leaves his students looking at him completely clueless. He's also deaf, so asking questions is no good. If you're stuck with him, the best thing to do is study CourseCompass and do the HW and quizzes, they will save your grade in the end. Never take the paper test, it's a trick!
OMG! i went to his classs EVERyDAY and still had no clue what he was talking about. his tests are never on anything he taught. he expects you to play connect the dots with equations, and then he fails you if you dnt know how to do it. he always wears a pinkish yellow shirt every 3 days and he cant hear anything you say even if your sitting in front
Not really a good teacher, but in my opinion gives a lot of extra credit, one of those classes where you have to teach yourself, but dont recommend taking if not good in math, i got an A but that was because i took AP Calculus in high school, most of my friends failed
Mr. Andrews is NOT that bad! If you have his class stick it out trust me bcuz u will be thanking God u took him over others. Ex~i was failing his class he tld us that if we missed 3 or less days n class then the grad on our grade n the class will nt b lower than our grade on the final! He actually tries to help u out! I left the class with a B!
NOT a good teacher at all! Attendance is vital, miss too many days and you'll fail...no exceptions. Be prepared to learn more than one chapter at 1 time because you might have homework/quizes on one chapter and you'll go in and learn something about a completely different chapter.
I went to his class every single day and did not learn at all. I had to teach myself by course compass. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!
YOU GUYS I AM TELLING YOU (ESPECIALLY FRESHMEN WHO ARE JUST COMING IN) DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS...DROP IT AND RUN. I AM SO SERIOUS. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT.
if ur not good in math please do not take this man. 1st if ur class is in the electronic class room...which is across creation...u still cant be even 1 sec late, cuz u will lose points. 2nd he is deaf. 3rd he gives u homework almost every night on the stupid internet. and 4th he is so boring to listen to and he is terrible at explaining everything!
i think he purposelly gave us homework over the classic weekends and homecoming week.... he's completely deaf and you basically have 2 teach yourself because the sound of his voice puts you right 2 sleep.... and he also likes 2 try people and get attitudes if u let him.... and he laughs at his own jokes when no one else did...maybe cuz every1 was s
Being a pharmacy student i have to take pre cal this semester and boy can i tell you thi is absoulutly the worst teacher to take i failed this class.....He dosent teach, dont care about your grade and very smart mouthed...run for your life
OMYGOSH PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, THIS IS THE [WORST] TEACHER DO U HEAR ME THE [WORSSSSTTTT] TEACHER I HAVE EVER TAKEN, PLEASE DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF. HE IS HORRIBLE, YOU R GUARANTEED A FAILING GRADE IN HIS CLASS. HE PURPOSELY FAIL HIS STUDENTS. HE'S A LIER DON'T LISTEN TO THE BULL HE SAYS. I HAD TO TEACH MYSELF. ONLY 3 PPL OUT OF A CLASS OF 40 PASSED
The class is not that hard people. Granted, I did not exactly get an A, it was my own fault. I got high B cuz I took it for granted. Naw, he's not the best teacher but the tests are just like the course compass hw so yea... just do the hw i guess
This is the worst teacher ever! He is deaf dosent teach and mainly depends on the computer to reach the class! Having his class was my worst nighmare because that was the only class I didnt pass! If you want a good GPA take my advice and dont get ANDREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUDE didnt teach us, Thank God for techer assistants or the class would of never met!..i honestly wouldt reccomend him to anyone unless you love math and like to listen to a bunch of life stories...hes a cool guy, just a very difficult teacher and does not do a good job of relaying information in terms we can understand.
Simply dont take this professor he relies on the computer to reach the class which obviously doesnt work. You can tell he doesnt care who passes or not because he has changed his teaching style. JUST DONT DO IT.
HE IS THE WORST MATH TEACHER I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE... IF U WANT TO PASS PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIM.. HE XPLAINS NUTHIN... EVERYTHING IS THROUGH THE COMPUTER.... THE WORST TEACHER EVER..........
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THAT HE IS NOT THAT BAD. THEY MUST BE THE PEOPLE WHO MADE PERFECT SCORES ON THE SAT'S OR SOMETHING. SERIOUSLY GUYS DON'T TAKE HIM. IT'S NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. JUST WAIT A SEMESTER IF YOU HAVE TOO. PIERRE IS GOOD AND EVEN DR. LANE BUT NOT THIS GUY. IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT MATH YOU WILL FAIL...
He's really cool to talk to, but as a teacher, he's terrible. Thank God for the math lab and the tutors, because I wouldn't understand a thing. He's deaf and it frustrates him so I think he takes it out on the students. If you're good at math, take him, if not, avoid!
Don't take him...he makes fun of people if you have a question...he's really inconsiderate. just don't, that's all i am going to say.
I still question how I managed to pull a C in Pre-cal but easily got an A in CAL 1....beats me! Anyway, he didn't help me much I never paid attention because he confused me, I taught myself b/cuz I love math. Do not recommend you take him. I had A b/4 his tests but after taking, like I said I got a C if you're fine w/ that then wateva if not go fig
Andrews is a horrible teacher. He really doesn't explain anything. He jumps from steps 1 to 10 and expects you to figure out the rest. I say dont take him, but if you have to just pray and get a tutor. Get in study groups and come to class every day on time. If you do that and stay constant with work you should pass, but it will be a challenge.
He is the worst teacher ever the whole semester I thought myself with my math lab that had homework due allmost every night.
HE IS AN OK TEACHER BUT U WILL HAVE TO TEACH URSELF ALOT USING COURSECOMPASS. IF U ARE WILLING TO DO THAT THEN U WILL BE OK. HE GIVES ALOT OF EXTRA CREDIT FOR ATTENDANCE AND THROUGHOUT THE CLASS. I HAD A C AVERAGE FOR THE TESTS AND AFTER THE FINAL CAME OUT WITH AN A IN THE CLASS!! HE IS NOT THAT BAD TAKE HIM U HAVE TOO BUT BE PREPARED TO SWEAT LOL
Out of 20 kids only 2 passed with C's, so be my guest and take him if you dare.
Walked into class beliveing that iLL be able to handle him, he sits in the front of the room and teach. He sucks I was not intrested in learning because he not only mad the work hard to grasp if I would ask a question he would catch an attitude. I wisH I would have listened to the comments and stayed away from this man
I would not recommend him unless you are really good at teaching yourself or unless you have outside help. You WILL have to study, because he doesn't explain and he moves very quickly.
Worst math teacher in the history of mankind that I have EVER taken, and math isn't that bad but he doesn't teach at ALL..rude on a personal level..smart mouthed and expects you to just know things rather than EXPLAINING. study hard and do the coursecompass but that won't help you pass. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND HIM!!!!
Honestly, unless u plan on attending almost every class ON TIME, doing all coursecompass assignments, and reading the textbook, dont do it to yourself. He doesnt explain thoroughly enough, & is arrogant when askd questions. be strong in math if choosing Andrews. he may be a nice guy, but in class....negative. got a B by the grace of God. good luck!
This man is by far the WORST teacher i have ever encountored. He is sarcastic, arrogant and when you ask for help he makes it seem as if the question is basic and childish I would NOT recommend this man to anyone that dosnt already have a strong mathematical background just to put it simply (he WILL ruin your G.P.A)
This man is by far the WORST instructor i have ever had. He does nothing but read notes off the projector. He drinks coffee and reads the news paper on reviews days. Out of all 120 students he had at the begin of the semester aver half dropped the course and on average 4 out of 30 pass his class per session...he is really the worst professor EVER!
Mr. Andrews is one of the most hardest teachers i've ever had. The test never came out to what i expected and the practices he gives usually doesn't help but you have to find the way that works for you. He gave amazing curves during the end unexpectedly. He is not easy but you have to keep on.
Andrews is the worse.
Many people dropped this class within the first 2 weeks. He gave us a GRADED quiz the 2nd day of class. My online homework was not working, and he gave me no lenience, straight zeros. Just an all around difficult class.
Don't take this man. He is HORRIBLE!Math lab barely boost your grade. Study Guide he gives is completely different from test. It's easy to cheat his test with you're phone and he's literally deaf, he has a hearing aid. Don't take him if you actually want to learn.
If you like to fail take him if not avoid him.
Doesn't teach the material. He goes through power points and slides like a robot
I taught myself in this class. He gives out NO extra credit whatsoever. I took pre calculus in high school so I was familiar with the material. For any one new to this course, I advice tutors, going to the math lab, friends, the book, Youtube, anything else but Andrews. Expects you to just know the material. I made it out with a B. Barely.
Do not take him unless you have some knowledge on Pre-Cal. He answers your question with a question. He is not straight forward at all.
DO NOT TAKE HIM ! WAIT NEXT SEMESTER !I knew from the first day in his class that I was not going to pass. He only lectures when he wants to, when he does it is so confusing and unclear. I am already a person who has to work really hard in math, having a bad professor did not help. As a person he seems pretty cool, but as a professor UMMMM NO !
Worst teacher you can possibly have. Take him if you are willing to teach yourself. He is no help. He just assigns the homework and quizzes on mymathlab. He is very sarcastic when answering questions. He doesn't tell you where you are wrong on test.
Honestly, this professor knows his subject. He can be condescending at times, but for the most part, he will break things down IF YOU ASK. Mandatory PLFs or Turn in Chapter Questions(my choice).. I should've done PLFs. Gives partial credit on tests questions. Tests you on a lot of info, but its not all on the test. Passed with a B, Prepare to Study
DO NOT TAKE HIM! He will give you a PowerPoint but he is terrible at answering questions, he'll make you even more confused
He tries his best to teach but doesn't do it very well. He knew that most of us were not doing well in the class, so he kinda helped us out bc we really needed it. I don't recommend him to people who can't teach themselves because that's all you are gonna do in this class. The class is hard but doable. STUDY FOR HIS EXAMS WAY BEFORE!!
The class is majority an online class. If you keep up with the assignments on my math lab you should be fine in that component. The tests are really similar to the homework on my math lab, so make you understand the hw and you should be fine for the test. He doesn't have office hours so if you're stuck, go to the math lab or ask other students
I highly don't recommend him. He's deaf and has a hearing aid. if you ask a question, most likely he won't hear you. He tries his best to teach, but we still don't understand him. But if you do end up taking his class, make sure you do your MathLab, pass every single one of the 4 tests, do your hours, and pass the final, and you will be fine.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! I am pretty good at math and I nearly failed. He will not bump you grade up no matter how close you are to the next grade. He is also very condescending when you ask for help and talk to him about a grade you got.
Sets up everything in mathlab you just gotta keep up and do not miss assignments ! Do not wait til the last minute to do the tests and quizzes. Must get an 85% on prequiz to unlock real quizzes. Hes a tough grader but the tests are way easier compared to the work on mathlab
Don't take Richard Andrews. He isn't the best professor at all. When reviewing math material, he can barely hear your question. Also he doesn't make problems clear when going over them. This class is very boring and not work the money. You only use MyMathLab for everything,
I took the class online over the summer and we did our work on My Math Lab, but overall he was a very understanding professor. Just communicate with him! I passed with a B when honestly I shouldve failed
Very laid back professor. We had a group project due every week but they werent hard. Quiz and homework due every Sunday. Test are fairly easy. Not much to say about professor Andrews he just taught the lesson and sent us on our way. Easy A or B
A terrible professor. Do not take this man at all! Im a straight A student and Im struggling in his course. Just wait until next semester to take it. Please trust me. This man is rude and condescending and wont even help you on assignments or at office hours! He will just say Im not going over what I taught in class what are here for?!!
Horrible professor, the things that are assigned have never been taught or even mentioned within the 50 minutes were sitting in class. Hes quite hard of hearing so when you ask questions youre not likely to get a response and when you do, its never a clear response. Usually ends up being more confusing than it actually is.
Doesnt help his students regardless of how many questions we asked. Snarky/Rude replies to emails (if he replies) Placed in groups for projects & if your group doesn't contribute you have to do all the work alone or fail. Reads from PowerPoint but doesn't explain. easy to cheat on tests cause he's so old he can barely hear or see. Cant teach.
Yall listen to what these students are saying on this app. Hes terrible, very hard of hearing and doesnt explain things thoroughly and his canvas is very TRICKY so if I were you, I would save myself the headache.
This man needs to be removed from this university. He is half deaf and doesnt even teach his class all the work was online. Mathway will be your best friend. Dont take him if you can help it.
Lectures were long and boring and hard to pay attention to. Group assignments held too much weight imo. Had to teach myself most of the information.
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS, do not take him. He literally doesn't teach and he cant hear! He wont raise your grade at the end of the semester so don't even beg, not even if you .2 away.
He is very old, cant hear well or see. Took his course and wouldn't do it again (he could have been worse but he was still pretty mid)
He is very hard to understand. He teaches very monotone.
This man needs to be removed from this university immediately. I do not understand how he has not retired. He only teaches off powerpoint and does not explain any further. He has the most monotone voice that will put you to sleep. He can barely hear and is not capable of teaching. Good luck trying to reach him through email, he doesn't respond.
Seriously listen to the other reviews. No one lied about anything at all, this semester was the most difficult because of this professor. He can't hear very well and doesn't respond to emails very much either, your best bet is office hours. If you have any other option.. take it.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GPA DO NO TAKE THIS MAN CLASS! Professor Andrews makes this class harder than it needs to be. If you have a question, he usually responds with an attitude. He's nearly fully deaf, so if you have a question, it probably won't get answered. He's also very old, moves very slowly, and makes a lot of mistakes while teaching.
Do not take this teacher. I had to teach myself most of the information. He cannot hear and often gets his own example problems wrong.
Doesn't actually teach, just reads from his slideshows. If you can take anybody else, PLEASE DO. I withdrew from the class cause I didn't think I was going to pass.
Does not care for the class overall. I completed every aspect of the class with an A except my tests. Didn't care to help me raise my grade by 4 points to pass. Often answers with an attitude to simple questions, & is well overdue with teaching, I filled out the course climate survey but that may not even make a dent in what needs to be done.
I had Mr.Andrews for 1033 and 1005 and it is very difficult to learn from him since he reads from the textbook. Idk how, but I managed to get a B in both classes bc I am horrible in math. I say take him if you can teach yourself and if you are good at math.
He is not that good of a teacher. He randomly changed my grade after a final and refused to push it up just 2 easy points to make me pass. Not fair.
He is very hard of hearing and takes a long time to respond to emails.
Couldn't pay me enough to take him again. The four tests outweigh everything by a lot. Projects / math assignments are group work, therefore your grade is at the fate of others. Tons of homework that doesn't even help your grade. It is December and the week before finals, he just graded something from August.. which put me at a failing grade.
Doesn't teach, reads off the the slides from the textbook, and rarely helps his students.
Don't take his class if you can't do self teaching. He doesn't do his job properly (which is teaching) and reads off PowerPoints. The group assignments and projects are somewhat easy but don't always expect your group members to help you out. For anyone who has to take his class, just do good on the first 4 tests with the help of tutors.
Please do not take his course. The group projects are almost every week and he just reads off of a slide. He barely shows you how to do the problems, nonetheless what you're even learning. It's way better to take another teacher even if it's at a terrible time. All the other reviews are telling the truth.
This class wasn't particularly it was really just the professor. He's not a great teacher all he does is read of slides then look at you. If you do the homework and quizzes you should be fine. BUT he has entered an incorrect grade for me on MULTIPLE occasions.He does not offer any extra credit and doesn't help if you're confused. Wouldn't recommend
I don't recommend this professor. He's monotone, hard of hearing, and only reads slow PowerPoints with little explanation. Tests outweigh homework, quizzes, and group projects, making it hard to succeed. I retook the course with another professor and did much better.
He is such a sweet professor, and he will help you if you ask for it. Recommend take his class.
Older man --> lectures were always difficult to follow because he tends to mumble and is hard of hearing, which made following the lesson tedious. If you choose to take him, be prepared to teach yourself a lot of what you tried to learn in class, since he mostly just reads off PowerPoint slides. He's nice and all, but I wouldn't recommend.
This man cannot teach. He reads in a quiet, monotone voice, and it's just a very minimal PowerPoint. Also, there's a group project every week, you're required to do 2 hours a week in the math learning lab, and being in this class just makes you want to fall asleep. Be prepared to teach yourself math.
Never in my life has algebra been made so difficult. He is elderly, and has very bad hearing. We are asked multiple times to repeat ourselves when we ask questions. Then, when he hears us, he gets annoyed when we ask to clarify something he has said. The test are not even hard it's just sometimes too time consuming to use a calculator. Terrible.
Professor Andrew's is a really nice professor, however, without any prior knowledge this class would be harder to follow. He does read off slides, occasionally with examples but I relied heavily on the homework problems on web assign as review to help me master the topics. Tests are pretty easy, and there is a good amount of group work.
